I've been unimpressed with them for a while. Yeah they handled Germany in 2016, I'd still take Germany over them in every match they play. They look brill in qualifiers but to me they are a paper lions. Strong on the team sheet but when they face the big teams this summer, they won't impress. If they do I'll be shocked. I'm not sold on Lloris. If Deschamps doesn't start Pavard then I'd be worried that he might be trying to sabotage his team. They are talented but I just don't see them having the resolve of a team like Germany or even Brazil or Argentina(both teams post 2014 WC) . I have them losing in the R16 to whichever team comes in 2nd in Group D....or if they get past that, I don't see them getting past Uruguay or Portugal in the QF.
The Spanish FA president is just coming off as petty and not putting his national team in the best position to succeed....just so he can make a point. Terrible. Why not just let Lopetegui finish the tournament and then when it's over, sue him for breach of contract? Also...Cesc is delusional if he thinks he deserved a call up to that midfield.
I agree. What horrible timing. Lopetegui and Real f'ed up by announcing now. Why wouldn't you wait until after the tournament to announce it? But to fire your national team coach 1 day before the tournament starts because he didn't tell you first that he was making plans post-tourney. This was handled as poorly as possible by both sides.
A lot of ridiculousness. Japan, Russia, Poland, Australia have odds way better on this than they really should have. How does Saudi Arabia have better odds than Tunisia AND Morocco? Morocco should have better odds than a number of teams ahead of them. I'm sure group strength/difficulty is part of it but c'mon now.
It's not for me. Someone else asked me to find one for them. I don't think Fox or any of these channels do live streaming on the website.
